FANTASY BOURBON!!!

Next week, kicking off on Christmas Day, SmokyBeast is coming at you with another holiday hooch marathon.  This time it's the best bad boys of the year squaring off in the first ever FANTASY BOURBON battle!

The best part is, YOU CAN PLAY TOO.  And you might get to taste some great stuff like Pappy Van Winkle, Four Roses 125th Anniversary, George T. Stagg and Angel's Envy Cask Strength out of the deal.  (We cannot officially offer to send you Pappy wink wink, but for entertainment purposes we will raffle the top scores and may ask for your address.  We REALLY couldn't offer to send you a tasting of all these great whiskies, but wouldn't that be awesome??).  Just scroll down at the end and add a comment with your brackets.  Have fun!

Brackets

Comment below on this post to fill in your brackets by choosing the winners of games 1-7.  Bracket picks will be locked on Christmas Eve.

We heard a rumor that one winner will receive a very special prize.  (note from the SmokyBeast legal department: there is no prize, nor is this any type of official contest).  We heard that there may be a very awesome prize.

Play-offs start Christmas Day and the Championship is announced on New Year's Eve.  Stay tuned!
